Design & Styling

The design of the Glamour X 125 is identical across its variant lineup. The design has a few changes from the conventional 125 cc commuter: sculpted fuel tank, angular body panels, and a sharp rear section. The overall design looks modern, but has the air of maturity to it, unlike the really sporty-looking Xtreme 125R. It gets two new colour options: Gun Metal Grey and Matt Axis Grey.

Features

The feature list on this bike is quite good and includes a few bits that you won't find in most commuter bikes, here is what all it gets:

• Single channel ABS with an Integrated Braking System (IBS, which is Hero's term for combined braking system).

• Cruise Control, a feature usually reserved for higher capacity performance bikes.

• Ride-by-wire throttle that enables three riding modes: Eco, Road and Power.

• A 4.2-inch coloured LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity and features like call/SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation among others.

• A USB-C charging port.

• All LED lighting setup.

• Panic brake alert.

• Low battery kick start feature.

• Underseat storage that's claimed to accommodate two smartphones.

Engine, Performance & Underpinnings

Mechanically, the bike remains identical to the Drum and Disc variants. It gets the same 125 cc, fuel efficient, single cylinder engine making 11.5PS and 10.5Nm. It works alongside a 5-speed gearbox. The claimed mileage is 65kmpl, which is pretty decent for a bike of its class. Underpinnings are the same too: telescopic fork, twin rear shock absorbers, a disc up front and a drum at the rear.

BikeDekho Says

The Glamour X 125's biggest pain point was the lack of ABS, and now, Hero has addressed this with this variant. It was already super feature-packed, and now with the inclusion of a single-channel ABS, it is a well-rounded motorcycle that will appeal to folks who like a matured, modern 125cc commuter.
